What Does a Wedding Planner Do?
We wear many hats throughout the planning and designing process. Here’s a breakdown of the key roles we play:
Budget Management: One of the first and most important tasks is helping you establish a realistic budget! We will take time to get to know you and your partner, your priorities, wants vs. needs, and all the other details you've been dreaming up. From there, we will build an estimated budget to help guide future spending decisions and help you spend your wedding budget intentionally.
Vendor Management: From florists to caterers to photographers, we will manage communication and contracts with all of your vendors. After planning weddings for almost 10 years in the Bay Area, we have established relationships with trusted professionals, which can be a huge advantage.
Timeline Creation: We will create a detailed timeline for the day of the wedding, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and on schedule. Our team will coordinate with vendors and your wedding party to ensure everyone knows where they need to be and when.
Design and Styling: We build out a completely custom design for your wedding day. From the venue's architecture and the surrounding floral and fauna, to details about your relationship, background, and cultures-- we gain inspiration from so many elements to make your day truly unique.
Problem-Solving: Inevitably, something unexpected will happen, but our team is there to handle it all. Whether it’s a last-minute change in the weather or a missing vendor, we are skilled at finding solutions quickly and calmly.
Day-of Coordination: On the day of your wedding, hand+heart will be your right hand, managing the timeline, vendors, and any issues that arise so you can focus on enjoying your day. Our team of stylists will have a keen eye on the details, ensuring florals are placed beautifully, chairs are straightened, and that all the style elements are attended to.
Benefits of Hiring a Wedding Planner
Reduced Stress: Perhaps the most significant benefit is the reduction in stress. Our team takes on the heavy lifting, so you can enjoy the excitement of your engagement without being bogged down by the details.
Time-Saving: Planning a wedding is time-consuming, but having hand+heart leading the way will save you countless hours by handling research, communications, and logistics.
Expertise and Creativity: With our experience, we bring a wealth of knowledge and creative ideas to the table. We've seen it all and can tell you what we know works, what doesn’t, and how to create a truly memorable event.
Vendor Connections: We have a network of trusted vendors we've worked with countless times, which can lead to better service and sometimes more flexible rates.
Budget Management: We will help you stick to your budget while still making your wedding as beautiful as you imagined. We know where to splurge and where to save!
